Major General Thomas A. Perry,
Commander of the Second Service
Command, assert that enemy agents,
saboteurs and fifth columnists con
stitute a threat to this country whicfi
is, "in some respects more serious
than invasion." j
The General says that there were

Now that our army is trained and
being rapidly moved into position for
the .beginning of our supreme effort
the necessity arises to name a com
mander. Logic and common sense, it
seems, would suggest that we use
our ablest military leader, because
certainly the task is most vital.
If General Marshall is the strate-

While some people in this country
have the idea that the danger of
fifth columnists, spies and saboteurs
has been . . over-emphasized, they
should remember that'these enemies
only spring into action at the time
of invasion, to demoralize and disrupt
defense. Nothing would be gained
by their premature action and, conse
quently, they will remain undisclosed
unless an opportunity arises.
If, as seems probable, the Germans
are unable to produce a pomising
moment in this country, the friends
of the Axis will wait until the war
ends and then attempt to serve the
German cause. They will stir up dis
cord between the Allies; denounce
the terms of peace and ? attempt to
revive nationalist and isolationist
sentiment.

"Just About To Begin"
Marshall Warns Of Lossen
General George C. Marshall, in ins
address to members of the American
Legion, in convention, said that "we
are ready to carry the war to the
enemy, all overseas, thank God, witn
a power and force that we hope will
bring this conflict to an early conclusion."
The General asked the public to
"please remember that this phase is
just about to begin." He finds some
misunderstanding as to our progress
in war" and "the impression" that
we have undertaken the final steps in
the conflict.
Outlining what has been accom
plished in the past year and a halt,
General Marshall said, "We have
been engaged in establishing bases
for future operations" and "our ship
ping has been largely employed in
getting our air forces in action and
